Hallmark
“When you care enough to send the very best” used to be Hallmark Cards’ slogan. However, today’s problem is that fewer people send greeting cards at all. According to Hallmark’s website, the company’s brand can still be found in over 2,000 card shops. However, according to various media reports, well over a dozen will close in 2020. These include a 44-year-old Hallmark store in Evansville, Indiana, and Rich Schauer’s long-running Forest Park, Illinois.

Nordstrom
Another department store chain, Nordstrom, has decided to make some of its coronavirus closures permanent. The Seattle-based retailer, which was known for its excellent customer service and used to have live piano music in its stores, has announced that 16 of its locations in the United States and Puerto Rico will close. According to a press release, the closures are part of its long-term strategy to “strengthen its business.” Nordstrom will have 100 department stores left.
